Question 1

What is hydrodynamic pressure?

  • Pressure from air
  • Pressure from water during seismic activity
  • No pressure at all

💡 Hint: Focus on what happens to water in a tank during shaking.

Question 2

True or False: Ductile detailing allows structures to perform better by bending rather than breaking.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the advantage of bending over breaking.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design an elevated water tank for a region with significant seismic activity. Discuss the factors to consider, including hydrodynamic pressure and ductile detailing strategies.

💡 Hint: Think about both immediate and delayed responses of water in the design.

Question 2

Evaluate a hypothetical scenario where a water tank failed during an earthquake due to improper ductile detailing. What were the design flaws, and how could they be rectified?

💡 Hint: Consider both the structure’s immediate stress points and flexibility.
